A concise, practical guide to the head and neck anatomy that helps you recognize key structures and their relationships at a glance.

This edition emphasizes clear explanations and clinically oriented details.

The volume offers a thorough, nicely illustrated reference for the head and neck region, part of a larger manual that covers the abdomen, thorax, nervous system, and organs of special sense. It presents the suprahyoid and infrahyoid groups with careful descriptions of their origins, insertions, nerve supply, and actions, alongside surface landmarks and deep relationships. The text also highlights how these muscles relate to common procedures and conditions, such as goitre and tracheotomy, and it situates the carotid sheath, the hyoid bone, and the thyroid cartilage within the neck’s anatomy.

Learn the origins, insertions, and nerve supplies of infrahyoid muscles like the sternohyoid, sternothyroid, thyrohyoid, and omohyoid, and understand their actions.
See how the suprahyoid and infrahyoid regions are organized in the median line, including the submental triangle and related structures.
Understand surface-to-deep relationships in the neck, including the carotid sheath, the thyroid body, and the crico-thyroid region, with surgical implications.
Reference clear diagrams and practical notes on procedures such as tracheotomy, with attention to surrounding vessels and membranes.

Ideal for readers needing a reliable, clinically oriented overview of head and neck anatomy, with emphasis on practical relationships and safe, repeatable dissection landmarks.
